Accordingly, the end portion 112 of the outer base fabric 32A and the lower end 34E of the upper base fabric 34 are sewn to the upper end portion 32U of the inner base fabric 32B at a time in the sewing portion S11.
- the diffuser 126 Since the diffuser 126 needs to communicate with the lower chamber 28 and the upper chamber 30, when the end portion 112 of the outer base fabric 34A is sewn to the inner base fabric 34B, the diffuser 126 is blocked by the sewing portion S11. It is necessary to prevent it. On the other hand, gas leakage from the sewing portion S11 between the inner base cloth 32B of the lower base cloth 32 and the inner base cloth 34B of the upper base cloth 34 should be suppressed. Therefore, when it is difficult to sew each part at once in the sewing portion S11, the inner base cloth 34B of the upper base cloth 34 is sewn to the inner base cloth 32B of the lower base cloth 32. You may carry out separately from sewing of the edge part 112 of the cloth 34A.

- the dimensions (package dimensions) can be made smaller and lighter.
- the side airbag 16 has a two-chamber structure including a lower chamber 28 as a high-pressure chamber and an upper chamber 30 as a low-pressure chamber, but the arrangement of the high-pressure chamber and the low-pressure chamber is limited to this. It is not a thing.
- the side airbag 16 may have a three-chamber structure by further providing a top chamber (not shown) corresponding to the shoulder 26S of the occupant 26 as a high-pressure chamber on the vehicle upper side of the upper chamber 30 as the low-pressure chamber.
- a diffuser and a check valve are also provided on the uppermost chamber side (not shown). This diffuser can be easily provided by disposing the diffusers 36, 62, 72, and 96 in the above-described embodiment upside down.
- the vehicle side airbag devices 10 and 20 are not limited to those mounted on the vehicle seat 12, and may be mounted, for example, in a trim on the side of the vehicle.

Abstract
Description
図1から図3において、本実施の形態に係る車両用サイドエアバッグ装置10は、例えば車両用シート12におけるシートバック14の側部に搭載されるサイドエアバッグ装置に係り、サイドエアバッグ16と、隔壁18と、インフレータ22と、逆止弁24とを有している。
本実施形態は、上記のように構成されており、以下その作用について説明する。図1において、車両用シート12には、一般に、シートバック14の傾斜角度を調整するためのリクライニング機構(図示せず)が設けられており、シートバック14の側部の下部にエアバッグモジュールの搭載スペースを確保することが難しいが、本実施形態では、インフレータ22が、サイドエアバッグ16内におけるシート後方側に位置し、低圧室である上部室30内に配設され、サイドエアバッグ16の折畳み寸法(パッケージ寸法)を小さくできるので、シートバック14の側部へのエアバッグモジュール(図示せず)の搭載性が良好である。
図8において、本実施の形態に係る車両用サイドエアバッグ装置20は、例えば車両用シート12におけるシートバック14の側部に搭載されるサイドエアバッグ装置に係り、サイドエアバッグ16と、隔壁18と、インフレータ22と、逆止弁24と、ディフューザ62と、を有している。
本実施形態は、上記のように構成されており、以下その作用について説明する。図8から図10において、本実施形態に係る車両用サイドエアバッグ装置20では、上方基布34の一部に隔壁18が一体的に設けられると共に、該隔壁18にディフューザ62及び逆止弁24が一体的に設けられているので、隔壁18、ディフューザ62及び逆止弁24を別途設ける構造と比較して、サイドエアバッグ16の縫製に要するコストを低減すると共に、生産性を向上させることができる。またディフューザ62は、隔壁18のシート後方端部を、下端34D,34Eの位置よりもシート下方側(下部室28側)に延長して構成されているので、構成が簡易である。このため、サイドエアバッグ16を折り畳んでなるパッケージの小型化及び軽量化を図ることができる。
図16から図18において、変形例1に係るサイドエアバッグ16では、隔壁18及びディフューザ72が、1枚の上方基布34を折ることで形成されている。図17は、上方基布34の展開状態を示す斜視図である。この上方基布34では、外側基布34Aとなる領域と内側基布34Bとなる領域との間に、隔壁18となる領域が設けられ、該隔壁18となる領域のシート後方に、ディフューザ72となる領域が設けられている。図16に示されるように、ディフューザ72となる領域は、図17に示されるように、隔壁18となる領域のシート後方に突出形成されている。なお、隔壁18となる領域の一部もディフューザ72を構成する。
図19,図20において、変形例2に係るサイドエアバッグ16では、隔壁18及びディフューザ72が、1枚の下方基布32を折ることで形成されている。この下方基布32では、外側基布32Aとなる領域と内側基布32Bとなる領域との間に、隔壁18となる領域が設けられ、該隔壁18となる領域のシート後方に、ディフューザ72となる領域が設けられている。図20に示されるように、このディフューザ72となる領域は、隔壁18となる領域のシート後方に突出形成されている。なお、隔壁18となる領域の一部もディフューザ72を構成する。
図21,図22において、変形例3に係るサイドエアバッグ16では、隔壁18が、下方基布32(高圧室用基布)のうち、車両用シート12(図8参照)のシート幅方向外側に位置する外側基布32A(高圧室用外側基布)の上部室30側の端部98を、下方基布32のうちシート幅方向内側に位置する内側基布32B(高圧室用内側基布)に縫製することで形成されている。
図23において、変形例4に係るサイドエアバッグ16では、隔壁18が、上方基布34(低圧室用基布)のうち車両用シート12(図8)のシート幅方向外側に位置する外側基布34A(低圧室用外側基布)の下部室28側の端部112を、該上方基布34のうちシート幅方向内側に位置する内側基布34B(低圧室用内側基布)に縫製することで形成されている。
各実施形態においてサイドエアバッグ16が、高圧室としての下部室28と、低圧室としての上部室30を有する2室構造であるものとしたが、高圧室及び低圧室の配置はこれに限られるものではない。例えば、低圧室としての上部室30の車両上側に、高圧室として乗員26の肩部26Sに対応する最上部室(図示せず)を更に設けることで、サイドエアバッグ16を3室構造としてもよい。この場合、最上部室側にも、ディフューザ及び逆止弁が設けられる(図示せず)。このディフューザは、上記実施形態におけるディフューザ36,62,72,96を、上下反転させて配置することで、容易に設けることができる。
